Automate Abnormal Slide Submissions in Cytology
Let your AI agent handle the repetitive slide submission process, documentation, and status tracking so you can focus on accurate cell analysis and patient care.
As a cytologist, you waste hours each week moving flagged slides between Aperio, Excel logs, and email folders. Typing up case notes, double-checking attachments, and tracking submissions in spreadsheets leads to errors and missed cases. The manual workload distracts you from reviewing slides and impacts your lab’s throughput.
An AI agent that automates abnormal cell slide submissions, documentation, and tracking for cytologists using digital lab systems.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In healthcare labs, cytologists spend valuable time collecting abnormal slides, preparing submission packets, and updating records across systems like Aperio, Google Sheets, and Outlook. Each manual step increases the risk of lost slides, incomplete documentation, and compliance headaches. The repetitive process drains focus from diagnostic work and patient outcomes.

AI Agent FAQ
Yes, the agent integrates with Aperio via API and updates Google Sheets automatically. You can also link Outlook for email-based submissions. Setup takes minutes with your IT team.
No, you flag slides in Aperio or your LIS. The agent organizes, submits, and documents flagged slides but does not interpret cell images.
All data is encrypted using TLS 1.3 during transfer. The agent processes information only when you request it and never stores patient data after completion.
Absolutely. The agent compiles audit-ready reports of all abnormal slide submissions, including timestamps and documentation, for regulatory review.
The agent handles digital workflows only. For physical slides, you’ll need to manually process them, but digital records and documentation are fully automated.
